He was married in October 1957 to Anna (Henning) Rasmussen. He cherished his two daughters, Jody Rasmussen (Bernie Verhoeven) and Sara (Mike) Shea. He loved his grandchildren Michael (Katherine) Hansen, Patrick Hansen (Sara Rodriguez), Brenna Shea, and Maya Shea, and his great-grandchildren Sunny, Louise, and Felix Hansen.
Robert graduated from UW Madison with degrees in Chemistry and Education. He worked at Ray O Vac, starting in Research and Development, before eventually moving to Marketing. He continued his career in Marketing at Broan Manufacturing. These roles allowed him to travel internationally and make many lifelong friends.
He was a skilled woodworker and built many of his homes. He was most proud of the last house he built on Lake Redstone, in La Valle, WI. He loved to read, especially biographies, and watch his favorite Wisconsin and Arizona sports teams.
He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, and grandfather. A celebration of life will be scheduled later this summer.
